Movie Reviews of The Shining [HD DVD]
Movie Review: Fantastic HD DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best-looking & best-sounding HDs I've seen. It didn't seem like the kind of film that would benefit from an HD upgrade, but it makes an amazing difference. The film looks new, with such a sharp image and brilliant colors that you'd never guess it was almost 30 years old. Much like the new Blade Runner Final Cut, the picture & sound are so much better that you feel like you're watching the film for the first time, and appreciating it more fully than ever before.
VERY highly recommended!
Movie Review: HD DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon, again why won't you post my review?
Good HD DVD of a good movie.
Movie Review: Great movie after all these years
Summary: 4 Stars
Still a fantastic movie even after seeing it 10+ times. Picture quality is great, not as clear as "newer" HD-DVD movies but still very good. The extra detail could be a minus because some things look very fake. Remember the scene near the end with the person in that bear suit? Remember thinking WTF is with all this? In the HD-DVD version, the costume looks like a $5 buck cheapo rental taking away some of the insanity of that scene
A lot of bonus features like a "Making Of" and cast interviews. If you liked this movie at all it's a great addition to your HD-DVD collection
Movie Review: Has Stanley Kubrik ever let us down!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a classic, Stanley does it again. A must have for any Stanley K. collector. Perfect portrayal of the unconscious psycho mind waiting to be unleashed.
Being trapped with nowhere to go, and being hunted is the worst nightmare to the human mind. Always put yourself in the scariest character's shoes and then critique this movie.
Movie Review: It grows on you
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first saw this film I was disappointed that it didn't follow the original Stephen King novel, however, between Nicholson's performance and the grand scale of the setting inside and out of the "Overlook Hotel" and Stanley Kubrick's unique story telling, it has grown on me over the years. The transfer looks great on HD, even if the film itself seems a little dated after 25 years (more so because of clothing styles, hair, etc., than the film itself). Not my favorite Kubrick film, but a pretty good spook flick nevertheless.
